Behind every campaign stands a ledger of lives. Open this volume and the United States armed forces of the early Republic step forward, name by name. Names, dates, ranks, and service. Charles K. Gardner's A Dictionary Of All Officers is a formidable military officer dictionary and biographical military register covering the United States 1789-1853. It gathers a complete officer roster of us army commissions from the inauguration of George Washington through the opening years of expansion and conflict, while also recording navy and marine officers who served with land forces, alongside volunteer militia officers from the states. For the historian it is a sharp military history reference; for families it is a foundation for genealogy military research, tracing careers, promotions, and postings across decades. Each entry anchors a life to the public record, invaluable when letters mention a captain or muster roll, or when a monument gives only initials. It is also a portrait of administration: commissions issued, ranks held, and service recognised. For browsing, it reads like compact, hard-earned biography itself. From the early republic army to the war of 1812 officers and the mexican war officer list, the book captures a turning nation through its commissioned leadership, revealing how institutions formed, how emergencies were answered, and how service moved between regulars, volunteers, and militia. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
